CHICAGO, Ill.,, Nov H.. 1t has been set
tied that Louis Lingg Killed himself with q
dynamite bomb, and not Eliminating
cap, as was at first supposed His cell was
given thorough overhauliug today for the
first time since his SUI idle in order to put
il in shape for other prisoners. During the
search spattcred pieces OF gaspipc were
found, showing conclusiycly that LinCg
had exploded dynamite bomb in his
mouth, and not Illuminating cap. One
of these pieces is over nm inch long. andap-
pears 10 have been torn iungiudally from
II large piece by the explosion. The rem
nant is in the possession Of sheriff Matson,
who keeps il rs n souvenir Of the most dies.
peratc man under his charge The con
dtion OF the walls OF Ingg's cell also
bears out the theory that bomb was
used by him. Large pieces Of the solid
masonry are blown of by the force OF the
missilesof which the bomb was made. How
the bomb got into hi. possession seems rs
much n mystery rs eyer The suspicion
that was at first directed To one Of the
deputies on guard, rs now no longer
thought Of. II is generally believed that
Lingg had il in his possession at the time
the other four were found, and had il
secreted In his hair, a thing he could very
easily have done M his hair was over six
inches long and very thick. II Is the
opinion Of the jail officials that all the
bombs were passed through the iron caging
10y some outside friends, although lac may
have filled them himself in his cell.

CmCAGo, Ill.,, Nov. l4.-Thc News says,
cditolially: mo true-hcarted American
citizen could view the anarchist procession
which marched through the streets OF Chi
cago without emotions OF conflicting nat
urc. II was display at once pitiful and
reassuring. That something more than
5000 persons, men, women and children,
should avail themselves of the funeral OF
five murlceIs TO advertise their sympathy
with lawlesSness, must be regretted. In
the procession were no flags or banners ex.
prcssive OF hatred 10 American institutions
and American society; but ON every breast
was pinned the blood red sign of rcvolu-
ton and destruction. To plain common
sense il appears incxplicable that 5000, or
1000, or 100 men in the light OF the day
should wear the crimson ribbon and march
in the trail OF executed murlcrers. In the
place OF banners, flower pieces with mot
| toes were borne aloit, the word Martyrs
being iayorite among these, Vicing with
white dove in it, appropriations. The
red flag, that an obedience 60 the mayors
